My goal was to save $200 a month. - To start off with, I discovered the art of cooking! Let me tell you, it wasn’t easy. But if you break down all the ingredients in your take-out order, you’ll see that if you were to prepare the same meal yourself, you’d spend a quarter of the price! - But ditching the take-out and cooking at home isn’t enough – you also need to plan your meals so that you’re not wasting money and food. - Part of meal planning is going to the store with an exact list of what you need. - My shopping list alongside my meal planner kept me focused on buying only the ingredients I needed for my food and a few of my snacks. - I got myself a water filter that attaches to the faucet, and I fill up a reusable stainless steel bottle throughout the day. It is a small investment if you get a good one, but you end up saving money in the long run, and the filters last for months. - Instead of buying unique clothes that resemble some fashion editorial, I switched to a minimalistic classic style. I bought simple pieces with minimal prints and color. - I was spending about $50 a month to get my nails done professionally. But then I was like, “I think I can achieve the same look just by DIY-ing it with a $5 bottle of nail polish that’ll last for months!” - The average woman spends $20 a month on skincare, and I’d say I fit that statistic (or even surpass it!). So, I started making my own skincare products using natural ingredients. - And last but not least, ditch your gym membership if you have one. Just do your workouts at home – there are all kinds of apps and videos online that make it more than easy to keep a fitness routine right in the comfort of your own home.
